The last thing naval
officer Dan Avery wants to see on his radar is glamour girl Quintessa
Beaumont—even if she has joined the WAVES.

When fun-loving
glamour girl Quintessa Beaumont learns the Navy has established the
WAVES program for women, she enlists, determined to throw off her
frivolous ways and contribute to the war effort. No-nonsense and hoping
to make admiral, Lt. Dan Avery has been using his skills to fight German
U-boats. The last thing he wants to see on his radar is a girl like
Tess. For her part, Tess works hard to prove her worth in the
Anti-Submarine Warfare Unit in Boston—both to her commanding officers
and to the man with whom she is smitten. When Dan is assigned to a new
escort carrier at the peak of the Battle of the Atlantic, he’s torn
between his lifelong career goals and his desire to help Tess root out a
possible spy on shore. The Germans put up quite a fight, but he wages a
deeper battle within his heart. Could Tess be the one for him?

With
precision and pizazz, fan favorite Sarah Sundin carries readers through
the rough waters of love in a time when every action might have
unforeseen world-changing consequences.

First Line:

Boston, MassachusettsThursday, July 30, 1942A touch of kindness and enthusiasm could transform a person's spirit, and Quintessa Beaumont delighted in participating in the process. "This is lovely on you, Mrs. Finnegan." Quintess lined a box with tissue paper on the counter at Filene's.

I know it's a little more, but the first line didn't seem like enough.Visit my other blogging buddies, read their first line and leave yours in the comments. As always mark your place, and keep on reading!

I've looked at Sarah Sundin several times, and need to try her books. I tried a new author whom Carrie Pagels recommended because she needs reviews, and I am really enjoying it! My first line is: "Young lady, my marital status is none of your concern." from Secrets & Charades by Cindy Ervin Huff
